Paper Stories: Folk Tales in Papercut

About this Event

**Paper Stories: Folk Tales in Papercut** Complementary to our February watercolour workshop on illustrating folk stories, this workshop explores the same mythic terrain through paper cutting. **Drawing inspiration from European folk tales and the intricate paper cuts of Hans Christian Andersen**, we’ll work with silhouette, repetition, and negative space to create narrative images using only paper and a blade. Across two sessions, **participants will experiment with folding, layering, and cutting techniques to translate forests, figures, and symbolic motifs into graphic, tactile compositions**. Starting with simple silhouette exercises, we’ll treat the scissors as a drawing tool. Step by step, we’ll add complexity, exploring rhythm, repetition, and the role of empty space. In the final session, we’ll develop small compositions that unfold a story through cut paper. * Open to all levels. No previous experience needed. * All materials included (black and white papers, colour and textured papers, scissors, glue, cutters and more). * Bring any extra material that you would like to experiment with (eg. old envelopes, painted papers, etc) **Wednesday 11 – 18 February** from 6:00 to 8 PM Join us for the whole course or for singles classes! **In Friedrichshain**, Berlin (exact address by e-mail) **Price:** * **65€** for the entire workshop (2 classes) * **35€** per single class * *Special discount for regular students: 60€/30€* * Payment via **PayPal / Bank transfer** ### **To book:** Email: **hola.berlinartclub@gmail.com** You’ll receive the payment details and the exact address upon confirmation. 🎟️ **Spaces are limited.** Important: RSVPing here doesn't guarantee a spot (sometimes the group is already full; please get in touch!)
